ooiy your going to start breaking other shyet with an uprated drive-shaft.

axles, and gears inside your transmission will start to shear for starters.

how long does the stock two piece last for before it retires?

look into strengthening the stocker with foam maybe, or I dunno how much cryotreating costs....but the thought just tore through my mind.

I would look into a single piece steel driveshaft and maybe z32 6 bolt star shaped axles and output shafts. You'll probably end up nuking rear ends or something, but with way less frequency haha.

I think he's got a single piece driveshaft. I think he's talking about the axles.

If so, try these guys. http://www.currieenterprises.c....aspxandhttp://www.markwilliams.com/default.aspxandhttp://www.moserengineering.com/A guy I know that owns a dirt track racing team said they might do custom stuff.

If you are talking about the stock driveshaft, I'd try a 1 piece steel driveshaft. I'd be surprised if that doesn't resolve it.
